The whole, Shark Tank-Social Network movie pop-culture around "startups" is F*cking toxic.
You usually don't just have one brilliant idea to change the world and make a billions of dollars over. Usually what ends up happening is that you get viciously curb stomped a few times until you stumble your way into something that actually works.
Or not, which is a possibility too that you should be aware and paranoid about. I firmly believe it IS possible to lose and die poor even if you know Fastlane material and the entrepreneurship happy horseshit. Most people think they're 100% going to F*cking succeed in the end but that usually breeds a vicious arrogance which begets failure.
